Challenge: Entity alignment (EA) aims to match identical entities across knowledge graphs (KGs) Graph neural network-based entity alignment methods have achieved promising results in Euclidean space, but KGs often contain complex local and hierarchical structures, which are hard to represent in a single space.
Approach: They propose a method which unifies dual-space embedding to preserve the intrinsic structure of KGs.
Outcome: The proposed method achieves state-of-the-art in structure-based EA on benchmark datasets.
